MY BACKGROUND
“Family First” isn’t just a mantra—it’s the cornerstone of my journey. I embraced this philosophy early on as a K9 handler, and after 26 years with the United States Border Patrol, its meaning has deepened with every challenge and triumph. Happily married for 27 years and a proud dad, I know firsthand that family is the ultimate anchor in life.
During my extensive law enforcement career, my family and I adapted to a life on the move—living in seven different states, calling twelve different houses home, and even taking on the challenge of homeschooling to pursue my calling. Through long TDYs, overtime, unpredictable shifts, and the profound loss of fellow agents and officers, I developed a resilient spirit founded on trust, empathy, and unwavering commitment. Every role—from daily operational tasks to serving as an Assistant Chief at USBP Headquarters in Washington, D.C., where I oversaw the nation’s largest law enforcement canine program—helped me refine a comprehensive skill set in leadership development, personal development, and emotional intelligence. I developed expertise in transition management, organizational leadership, and team leadership. , while also honing my public speaking and collaborative problem-solving skills to lead effectively in high-pressure environments.
Now, as a certified professional coach, I channel these hard-won lessons and diverse skill sets into empowering first responders, military personnel, and frontline professionals. I understand the unique challenges you face—balancing demanding careers with family life, navigating complex leadership transitions, and coping with the emotional toll of serving others. My mission is to provide a trusted, safe space where you can explore your personal and professional goals, build resilience, and create a life in which both your career and your family thrive.
Together, let’s define what “the Good Life” means for you, ensuring that while your mission remains at the forefront, your well-being and your family always come first.
